Spectroscopy of compact sources of CMZoom III

CMZoom observed ^12^CO(2-1), ^13^CO(2-1), and C^18^O(2-1), three transitions of H2CO, several transitions of CH3OH, two transitions of OCS, and single transitions of SiO and SO within gas above a column density of N(H2) => 10^23^ cm^-2^ in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ; inner few hundred pc of the Galaxy). We extract spectra from all compact 1.3 mm CMZoom continuum sources and fit line profiles to the spectra.

We use the fit results from the H2CO 3(0,3)-2(0,2) transition to determine the source kinematic properties. We find ~90 per cent of the total mass of CMZoom sources have reliable kinematics. Only four compact continuum sources are formally self-gravitating.
